Operational principle of the LCD panel is that liquid crystal molecules are positioned between two substrates paralleled each other, and a driving voltage is applied to two substrates to control orientation of the liquid crystal molecules, further reflecting light rays of the backlight module and generating images.

Thin film transistor liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD) apparatuses currently maintain a leading status in the display field because of low power dissipation, good image quality, high production yield, and other properties. The TFT-LCD apparatus includes a liquid crystal display (LCD) panel and a backlight module. The LCD panel includes a color filter (CF) substrate and a thin film transistor (TFT) substrate, and transparency electrodes on relative inner sides of the above substrates.

Furthermore, in The present application, the light reflecting layer 113 is disposed on the second surface 1122, the third surface 1123, the fourth surface 1124, and the fifth surface 1125, when the light rays are irradiated to the light reflecting layer 113, the second surface 1122, the third surface 1123, the fourth surface 1124, and the fifth surface 1125 reflect the light rays through the light reflecting layer 113 to form the reflecting light ray (dotted arrow as shown in drawings), further improving utilization of the light source and the brightness of the LCD panel.

In one or more embodiments, a plurality of convex protrusions or concave protrusions are arranged separately on any one or more of the second surface 1122, the third surface 1123, the fourth surface 1124, and the fifth surface 1125, which makes the light reflecting layer of the shading layer form similar convex protrusions and concave protrusions. When the light rays are irradiated to the shading layer, the convex protrusions and concave protrusions greatly increase light reflecting areas of the surfaces of the shading layer, further improving reflection of the light rays. It should be noted that: when the light rays are directly/obliquely irradiated to the flat, the reflecting light ray is generated orderly. In the embodiment, the light rays are irradiated to the convex protrusions and concave protrusions to generate irregular reflecting light ray, further supplementing brightness of dark places. In the embodiment, the convex protrusions or the concave protrusions are separately disposed on the second surface 1122, the third surface 1123, the fourth surface 1124, and/or the fifth surface 1125. It should be understood that the convex protrusions and the concave protrusions are disposed on the second surface 1122, the third surface 1123, the fourth surface 1124, and/or the fifth surface 1125.

However, it should be noted that light reflecting layer is disposed on any one or more surface of the shading layer, there are no example to illustrate.

In one or more embodiments of the present application, the present application provides the LCD panel, as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 7, FIG. 7 is a partial enlarged diagram of the LCD panel according to the embodiment of the present application.

In one or more embodiments, the shading layer 112 is made of light reflecting material. When the shading layer 112 reflects the light rays through the light reflecting material, which is another way to achieve reflection of the shading layer. Therefore, the surfaces of the shading layer can generate the reflecting light ray at the same time, improving reflection.

For example, the LCD panel 100 of the embodiment is the curved panel. However, the LCD panel of the embodiment is not limited thereto.

The substrate of the embodiment is a glass substrate, where the glass substrate has good photopermeability, and is easy to arrange. The substrate of the embodiment is the flexible substrate. It should be noted that the substrate of the embodiment is not limited thereto.

Furthermore, a plurality of convex protrusions or concave protrusions are arranged separately on any one or more surface of the shading layer of the present application, which makes the light reflecting layer of the shading layer form similar convex protrusions and concave protrusions. When the light rays are irradiated to the shading layer, the convex protrusions and concave protrusions greatly increase light reflecting areas of the shading layer, further improving reflection of the light rays. It should be noted that, when the light rays are directly/obliquely irradiated to the flat, the reflected light is generated orderly. In the embodiment, the light rays are irradiated to the convex protrusions and concave protrusions to generate irregular reflecting light ray, further supplementing brightness of dark places. In the embodiment, the convex protrusions or the concave protrusions are separately disposed on the same surface. It should be understood that the convex protrusions and the concave protrusions are disposed on the surface.

In one or more embodiments of the present application, the present application provides the LCD apparatus, where the LCD apparatus includes the LCD panel and the backlight module. The specific structure and connected relationship of the LCD panel of the embodiment refer to the LCD panel of the above embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 7. There is no detailed description for the LCD panel. The backlight module of the embodiment is regarded as the light source to provide sufficient brightness and uniform light rays. The backlight module of the embodiment can be front-light type, and also be back-light type. It should be noted that the backlight module is not limited thereto.

As the above, it should be understood that the present application has been described with reference to certain optional and alternative embodiments which are intended to be exemplary only and do not limit the full scope of the present application as set forth in the appended claims.
